The first and most storied Division in the Army, the “Big Red One,” is the bedrock of Army history. Fort Riley, more than 150 years old, is deeply rooted in the nation’s heartland. For the past 100 years, the “Fighting First” has been the vanguard, responding to the threats and crises that our nation has encountered. Kansas and the Central Flint Hills region have embraced our Soldiers and their Families, making Fort Riley the best place in the Army to live, to train, to deploy from and to call home. This bond of trust enables our Brave, Responsible and On Point Soldiers the agility to rapidly pivot and deploy in order to address emerging threats worldwide and develop new coalitions.

Fort Riley has the first FAA-approved corridor over national airspace to train at with the Joint Smokey Hills Training Center.

Ranges and maneuver areas support live-fire training of all fielded Army systems/munitions, including hellfire and Multi-Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS).

A unique offset Impact Area creates a large, usable maneuver block of 3,707 acres that allows for battalion collective live-fire training opportunities to include drop zones, realistic cross-country, heavy battalion, task force or company tactical maneuver Combined Arms Live Fire Exercises (CALFEX).

Our exceptional, diverse and mature deployment capability ensures, “We can get to the fight ‘Globally’ from the center of the United States.”

Heavy BCT fort to port 3.5 days gets us there before the ships arrive. Kansas’ location is not a deployment discriminator; it creates options for deployments from the East or West coasts.

Fort Riley is not in the middle of nowhere; it is in the middle of everywhere.

More than 40 percent of the installation’s maneuver lands are leased for annual agricultural production. This has no impact on maneuver training, while boosting the regional economy and reducing the threat of wildfires.

Fort Riley has natural and manmade barriers to encroachment on three flanks of the post. This protects and enables future training … an enduring factor securing Fort Riley as a long-term protected investment.

Utility rates $.077 — Kilowatt — hour for electricity and $4.50 — Thousand cubic feet for natural gas which is among the lowest in the Army.

Fort Riley is in the MIDDLE of everywhere.

Kansas is one of 15 States that does not tax military retirement pay making it fiscally beneficial to retirees and their Families. One of only four States with Division-level installations that do not tax retired pay.

Kansas State University provides intellectual/knowledge capital to Fort Riley through academic internships of no cost to DA — current average placements are 30-40 students/year at value of $3,450 each/$138,000; and will be expanded to more than 100+ per year at no cost to U.S. Army.

K-State offers traditional 4-year campus-based baccalaureate and graduate degree program opportunities (versus extension programs) to more than 2,700 Fort Riley Soldiers and family members per year; and also provides more than $450,000 in merit-based academic scholarships to military-connected students from Fort Riley.

Barton Community College’s Fort Riley-based Technical Education and Military School Operations saved the Department of the Army $4.5M in FY14. This includes $2.1M for the KSARNG.

Kansas State University provides more than $450,000 in merit-based academic scholarships to military-connected students from Fort Riley.

The MEDDAC Department of Public Health, located on Fort Riley, is in the process of becoming the first health department to attain accreditation from the Public Health Accreditation Board status across all Army health departments. Additionally, Fort Riley is the installation of choice for cutting-edge programs like Performance Triad — an Office of the Surgeon General pilot program that improves sleep, activity and nutrition of participants.

Fort Riley has several efforts with national employers such as General Electric, BNSF, Union Pacific Railroads, Kraft Foods, Vinnell Corporation and ABF Freight, among others, for workshops and hiring opportunities for our transitioning Soldiers that makes Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance Programs a priority and a culture.

Army Community Service (ACS) works with Kansas State University and other local universities providing internship opportunities for multiple Social Work students every semester. In exchange, the Family Advocacy Programs receive extra support in multiple activities and events by KSU to support Soldiers and Families on Fort Riley.

Outdoor recreational activities include: Military training and security come first, but year-round fishing in streams and 29 stocked fish ponds, a modern marina with exceptional rental equipment, wintertime trout fishing, seasonal hunting for more than 10 game species, archery deer hunting (No. 1 pursuit), one of the few locations to hunt prairie chickens and elk through a lottery system, and the top county for pheasant hunting.

“We all need to be ready for anything at a moment’s notice. Are you prepared? Are your Soldiers prepared? Do your part, and build Ready and Resilient Soldiers, units and teams.”

— Daniel A. Dailey, Sergeant Major of the Army
